Small Motor with Low RPM with power that can run on 1.5V

Hi RoboShop Forum,

I am looking for a very small DC motor that is the size of a 1.5V AAA battery and about half its length. I was looking on your website and there is over 600 items and I felt it might be better to ask someone that is more familiar with the product line. This motor doesn’t need to have a fast RPM, but would need to have some power or force. (excuse me if this is not the correct motor lingo) It also would be nice if it could run on a 1.5V AAA battery or any easy to get over the counter battery that is reasonably priced.

For what I am trying to do this motor could also be a servo motor if one exists in a very small package if this has a higher power ratings than a motor of the same size. If I go the servo route the rotation I would need would only be 90 degrees. If I went with a motor it would only need to run at a very slow RPM for about 2-3 seconds.

I hope this all makes sense.

Thank you,

Erik

Welcome to the Forum!

You’re best bet for small motor running on a 1.5V AAA battery would be this one:

]RB-Art-46 – 15v-20ma-micro-pager-motor-10pk/:m]

Here are all the other small motors that we have, but they prefer 3.0V or 4.5V:

]RB-Fra-88 – 3vdc-790rpm-0-005kg-cm-planetary-gear-pager-motor/:m]
]RB-Sbo-110 – 3vdc-380rpm-planetary-pager-gearmotor/:m]
]RB-Sbo-52 – solarbotics-tiny-pager-motor-tpm2/:m]
]RB-Sbo-17 – solarbotics-gm15-gear-motor/:m]
]RB-Sbo-51 – solarbotics-regular-pager-motor-rpm2/:m]

Here’s the smallest servo that we have:

]RB-Hit-89 – hitec-hs-35d-micro-servo-motor]

Here’s the full selection of micro servos:

Hope this helps.

I have used these. rated at 3vdc but go slower on 1.5vdc.
